“[w]e are able to gaze into the 𝐚𝐜𝐭𝐮𝐚𝐥 face of a bronze age royal woman – and it 𝐭𝐫𝐮𝐥𝐲 is a face to launch a thousand ships."

Yeah, truly, there is a modern #Greek saying, "a pus*y can tug a ship", so why not a thousand ships? A few bones found 75 years ago give us certainty about her face, and in spite of already having arthritis and dying in her 30s, she looked just like the girl in the picture 🙄

@GossiTheDog "#valuations" are just batshit crazy made-up amounts.

  • Like as if someone pays $1.000 to get 1‰ stake in it, the company is valued $1.000.000 by going reverse, when in fact that could merely mean it's a security on a credit / gamble and not much else.

  • I mean, a house doesn't get valued €100k just because someone was able to get a credit for that amount by puttibg it up as collateral in return.

The #valuation-based #hype doesn't do much except "line goes up" as a company before/after/between deals doesn't gain more assets or clients or orders nor produces more value, products, revenue or even IP.

  • In teal life, somethibg is only as valuable as the money (cash) one is willing to put down for it: A luxurious condo or collectible car is only as valuable as the highest bid it can attain in short notice! Same with any business!

A kiosk doesn't get valued much beyond it's assets as it's only "added value" beyond it's merchandise and interior usually gets offset almost completely by it's long-term commitments as in contractual obligations!

🧵 …wie oben schon mehrfach ua bei KI darauf hingewiesen & wie bei fast jedem Hype auch, plappert nicht einfach dem Marketing gedankenlos hinterher.

»Man kann es nicht oft genug sagen – Künstliche Intelligenz ist nicht intelligent:
Der Hype um KI-Agenten lässt wieder die Illusion von Intelligenz aufkommen. Dabei ist es doch so einfach: Maschinen sind keine Menschen«

In meinem Job und natürlich auch sonst im Umfeld ist der KI #Hype immer noch strong.

Je mehr ich lese, desto weniger enthusiastisch bin ich da allerdings. Inzwischen habe ich ca. 100 knackige Beispiele für die Gefahren von KI gesammelt und werde daraus wohl mal eine kleine Keynote basteln, um mit meinen Kolleg*innen darüber zu diskutieren.

Ein aktuelles Beispiel, gerade bei Fefe gesehen:

You are not doing science research if you stuff an LLM into the critical path of your experiments. You are, instead, producing science-shaped artifacts with the same peripheral relationship to science that LLM text output has to truth.

The reason for this shouldn't be hard to see but apparently is. Simplistically, science is about hypothesis-driven investigation of research questions. You formulate the question first, you derive hypotheses from it, and then you make observations designed to tell you something about the hypotheses. (1)(2) If you stuff an LLM in what should be the observations part, you are not performing observations relevant to your hypothesis, you are filtering what might have been observations through a black box. If you knew how to de-convolve the LLM's response function from the signal that matters to your question, maybe you'd be OK, but nobody knows how to do that. (3)

If you stick an LLM in the question-generating part, or the hypothesis-generating part, then forget it, at that point you're playing a scientistic video game. The possibility of a scientific discovery coming out of it is the same as the possibility of getting physically wet while watching a computer simulation of rain. (4)

If you stick an LLM in the communication part, then you're putting yourself on the Retraction Watch list, not communicating.

(1) I know this is a cartoonishly simple view of science, but I do firmly believe that something along these lines is the backbone of it, however real-world messy it becomes in practice.
(2) A large number of computer scientists are very sloppy about this process--and I have been in the past too--but that does not mean it should be condoned.
(3) Things are so dire that very few even seem to have the thought that this is something you should try to do.
(4) Yes, you might discover something while watching the LLM glop, but that's you, the human being, making the discovery, not the AI, in a chance manner despite the process, not in a systematic manner enhanced by the process. You could likewise accidentally spill a glass of water on yourself while watching RainSim.

Ich bin aktuell wieder voll im #fediverse #hype und möchte alle möglichen eigenen Instanzen machen vorallem #peertube weil ich schon seit Monaten plane. Videos über alle möglichen Themen zu machen und diese auch auf Peertube hochzuladen. Doch leider sind Server und Speicher so teuer bzw kann ich es mir nicht leisten.

Ich schätze ich schau mich erstmal nach einer netten Peertube #instance um.
